If the gig is a success, there could be more shows next year
It is one of the biggest events to ever take place in Wythenshawe Park - and it could the first of many. Noel Gallagher's huge homecoming gig on Saturday is set to bring some 25,000 fans to the south Manchester suburb.
"It's the lateness of the noise," she explained, "I have anxiety about loud noises. We know we're going to hear everything until 11 o'clock at night. According to Manchester council, promoter Live Nation and event organisers Engine Number 4 - the team behind Parklife Festival - have held meetings with residents since February and delivered letters to those living around the park. The council itself has informed residents of a parking permit zone which will be in place from Saturday , into the early hours on Sunday morning.
Another local resident who asked not to be named was less concerned about the quality of communication than the reality on the ground. This is not the first big event to take place at the park where bonfire nights were regularly held before the pandemic as well as a three-day family festival last summer.
"I live closer than most to the stage, and the contractors and crew have been brilliant during the set up phase. Obviously, I don’t know how security and crowd control will play out over the weekend, but I do hope that, whatever happens, it will be a learning experience, with lessons learned where things both do and don’t go according to plan.
A Manchester council spokesperson said: "This is the first major music event to be held in Wythenshawe Park and the council is working closely with the event organiser to ensure it is a positive event for the city and to minimise disruption to local people. This has included setting up a focused Community Impact Team to manage any issues in the neighbourhoods closest to Wythenshawe Park.
